BANKING on the Trinity

That's the title of the latest KERA article.  Good choice of words.  WHY would the Tarrant Regional Water District loan- interest free, $230 million dollars to the Trinity River Vision project? 

WHO's money is it?  Oh yes, YOURS.  The taxpayers.  $909 million.  Chump change...

Here are a few incinitives to read the article, but trust us, YOU can't AFFORD to miss it.

In a year when U.S. House Republicans have taken a pledge against earmarks, Senator John Cornyn is stepping forward to request $10 million in federal money for Fort Worth's Trinity Vision plan.

The Trinity Vision project is funded entirely with public money and most government bodies are struggling.

And what does Jim Oliver say?  The head of the Tarrant Regional Water District that makes almost $300,000 a year?

Despite what the critics say the Army Corp of Engineers who are flood control experts throughout the United States has certified this as a flood control project.


In that case, maybe the experts should focus on the flooding we have now, you know those projects that have no funding...

If you are tired of elected leaders spending your money, VOTE!!
